NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This B. Leighton Gratitude (Olsen Brothers Vineyard) is a pleasant and inviting red blend sourced from the Olsen Brothers Vineyard in the Sierra Foothills of California.It has a bright, ruby hue with aromas of ripe cherry, plum, cedar, and black pepper. On the palate, it's full-bodied and well-structured, with a rich core of dark fruit flavors and a hint of sweet oak. The tannins are firm but smooth and the finish is long and lingering. Overall, this is an excellent representation of a classic GSM blend and a great way to show gratitude for the land that produces it.
